discrimination -- "buy Christian"
business directories.
According to an ADL fact-finding

Dramatic demonstration of the

support for Jewish survival was
provided this week by two major
events in the 1977 campaign of the
Combined Jewish Philanthropies
and Israel Emergency Fund.
On Sunday, March 6, the
Leadership Event-for contributors
of $1,000 and over-drew close to 500
persons to the Marriott Hotel in
Newton. They committed more than
$386,000 to the 1977 drive,
representing a 34 percent increase
"over the amount the same in-
dividuals pledged last year.
The guest speaker at the affair
was Daniel Schorr, noted television
news reporter and commentator.
Charles S. Rosenblum was chair-
man of the Leadership Event
Committee.
On Wednesday, March 9 some 300
members of the shoe industry turned

They were there to demonstrate

thereby excluding Catholics and
most Protestant denominations, in
addition to Jews and other non-

In making the report public,
Arnold Forster, ADL's general

researching the possibility of
bringing legal action against the

WASHINGTON-President Jimmy
Carter told Israeli Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin that the United States
believed that in any Middle East
peace settlement Israel should have
"defensible borders" to insure that
agreements "might never be
violated."
These remarks, at a White House
ceremony welcoming Rabin, ap-
peared at first to represent a major
political gesture to Israel-the first
time since the 1973 Middle East war
that an American President had
endorsed Israel's insistence that its
ultimate frontiers be "defensible"
and not merely "secure and
recognized," as is stated in
Resolution 242 of the United Nations
Security Council and by the past
Administration.
'No Change in Position'
But within hours, White House and
State Department officials were
energetically trying to head off Arab
concern by asserting that Mr. Carter
had not meant to alter United States
policy.
"There is no change in position by
the use of the words 'defensible
borders,' " Secretary of State Cyrus
R. Vance told reporters after
holding a working lunch and follow-
up meeting with Mr. Rabin.
Mr. Rabin, however, when asked
if the President's comments about
defensible borders had cheered him,
said, "Well, no doubt I was very
pleased to hear it."
1977 's Year for Peace
"This is a different kind of visit,"
Carter said in welcoming remarks to
the Premier and Mrs. Rabin. "This
is going to be a series of working
sessions. Because of the crucial
nature of the problems that face the
Middle East and the close historic
ties between Israel and the United
States, we decided to minimize the
amount of time spent on ceremony.
"We will have a meeting tonight at
a banquet, but it will be a working
banquet, and I believe this is the
kind of interrelationship that will
demonstrate to the world the
seriousness with which we address
the problems of the Middle East, our
commitment to Israel, our
longstanding friendship, our sharing
of democratic principles and human
liberty and our constant search for
peace."
Carter pointed out that Vance's
visit to Israel and five other
Mideastern countries last month
was "to try to explore some common
ground for future permanent peace
there so that Israel might have
defensible borders, so that the peace
commitments can never be violated
and there can be a sense of security
about this young country in the
future."

Israel Sends Aid To Rumania;
Synagogues Damaged In Quake
JERUSALEM, (JTA) The first
shipment of aid left early this week
for Rumania which is still reeling
from the disastrous earthquake
while Israeli officials waited word
from Bucharest as to what aid was
needed. President Ephraim Katzir,
Foreign Minister Yigal Allon and
Histadrut Secretary General
Yeruham Meshel all sent cables of
condolences to their counterparts in
Rumania.
In Tel Aviv, the Red Magen David
was busy collecting and packing
medications urgently needed in
Rumania according to a list
received from that country. The
material is being flown to Bucharest
by El Al and Tarom, the Rumanian
state airline. It includes anti-typhoid
and anti-cholera vaccines,
hypodermic needles, and various
medical instruments, surgical tools,
dietary foods for diabetics and baby
food.
A special fund has been started by
the Association of Rumanian Im-
migrants, headed by Itzhak Koren,
which opened a bank account to
deposit cash contributions. Special
efforts are being made to send
Passover foods and clothing to
Rumania in time for the holiday
which begins April 2. Mayor Lehat of
Tel Aviv announced that the
municipality was prepared to
shelter 200 children from Rumania.

WASHINGTON, (JTA) Seven

(CIA) have denounced the charges
against them as a "mass of slan-

statement was read by telephone
from Moscow to the Union of
Councils for Soviet Jews here.
Izvestia, the Soviet government
